I misplaced rely way back of the variety of homes Nathan owned. I used to surprise if he had a home that we may transfer round each day of the yr and nonetheless have a brand new place to go to the following day.

It is no shock that the goon of the week urges me out of the again seat of the automobile in entrance of 1 I’ve by no means seen earlier than.

After we go inside, I am not stunned both to see the home totally furnished.

What did shock me was the home Xan took me to again in Farmington, however I think about that place was solely the place we have been assembly. Nathan would by no means spend any actual size of time in a spot like that. He is a fan of luxurious and high-end residing.

“Your room is over there,” the scarred man growls, pointing to the door on the far wall.

The home is not massive, however I do know from historical past that it’ll have at the very least three bedrooms. I swallow, pondering of Xan. If this home was acquired within the final a number of weeks, it might solely have two.

“Go,” the man insists after I stand in the midst of the tidy lounge.

My toes carry me throughout the room, however my thoughts is 1,000,000 miles away in a spot the place I am secure, a spot the place my mother by no means met Nathan Adair.

I do know the butterfly impact of that fantasy would’ve left me by no means assembly Beck, however the ache I have been via in my life tells me that we should always each be okay with it. My coronary heart clenches as I open the door. It tries to inform me that future would’ve had us assembly otherwise, that destiny would not be so merciless to maintain us aside, however I do know higher. Merciless is all I do know, apart from the time I spent with him.

It is eerie how acquainted the room is regardless that I’ve by no means been right here earlier than.

The mattress is roofed in costly white bedding. Nathan was all the time a fan of with the ability to simply see my blood when he harm me. I do know earlier than I even get to the window that it’ll both be sealed shut or…

“Motherfucker,” I growl after I pull again the curtains and see the bars.

I seen them outdoors, and I knew the one window that was lined with them needed to be mine.

The toilet is inside so it’s going to don’t have any home windows. The one method out of the home is thru the 2 items of shit that introduced me right here.

The dresser has an old school fragrance spray bottle on it, and I haven’t got to select it up and sniff it to know that it is the scent of roses. I nonetheless do not know the place his obsession with it got here from, however I’ve all the time suspected that it has one thing to do along with his mom, which is creepy all by itself.

I shudder as a wave of goose pimples covers my physique.

I do know it is unlikely that the lads in the lounge will trouble me, however I shut the bed room door anyway.

I wish to be courageous. I would like to have the ability to face Nathan with my head held excessive, however I do know I am going to cower and beg like I all the time do. I do know it will take a while earlier than he is right here, however he’ll get right here finally. There is not a court docket or jail cell that may maintain him.

I pull off my heavy coat, the heat within the room making sweat bead between my shoulder blades, and hold it within the closet, cringing on the garments hanging on the rack inside.

Nathan will probably be greater than a little bit upset with the load I’ve gained whereas in New Mexico, most of it throughout this final month. He all the time needed me to be lithe. We’ve got a picture to maintain in any case.

It’s extremely potential that the goon squad will report again to him how I look and the way I act. It would not shock me that Nathan made lodging only for this example, and already has an train program and eating regimen ready so I am in combating kind when he returns.

“You are not going to fucking imagine this,” I hear via the door.

“What’s that?”

I can inform by the voice, that the person speaking is the one who threatened the lives of the individuals within the parking storage. I can image his scarred face as I press my cheek to the door as a way to hear them higher.

“Bossman bought launched,” the opposite man says, making my blood run chilly.

“You are fucking kidding me,” the scarred man growls, and I can not inform if it is pleasure in his tone or if he is truthfully shocked.

I should not be shocked. Nothing ever holds Nathan for very lengthy. What ought to be surprising is him remaining in custody in New Mexico for so long as he did.

“What in regards to the case in New Mexico?” That is as soon as once more the scarred man.

“Who fucking cares. Do you assume he’ll allow us to fuck her?”

I hate the sinister chuckle I hear, and I am unable to find out from which of the fellows it got here.
